Ipswich Tips February 12


Great Northern Fillies and Mares Maiden Handicap Tips (Race 2)


Ipswich Best Bet - Race 2 No. 5 Azafran

Rex Lipp’s filly fetched $70,000 when led through the ring at the Inglis Premier Yearling Sale in 2023. 

The daughter of Almanzor demonstrated ability in two of her three barrier trials earlier this season including when successful by a narrow margin over 860m at Gatton.

A good second in a 925m event at Toowoomba followed with both of those efforts coming on a good 4 track.

The three-year-old again encountered good 4 going when making her racecourse debut in a 1200m three-year-old fillies maiden at Doomben last month.

Jumping at $61 the pick was ridden from off the pace having jumped from a wide barrier staying on nicely in the closing stages to be beaten three lengths into fourth.

The selection had her main rival here Wynette (third) ahead of her that day but she is taken to reverse form with her more experienced rival with improvement expected second up.

Ipswich Value Bet - Race 4 No. 1 Insain

Trainer Bjorn Baker’s horses are running well in the main at present and his representative is a rare runner at this track for the handler. 

The gelding has registered two solid efforts in maiden company since delivering a wide margin success in a Hawkesbury barrier trial in December.

The pick was beaten just over three-and-a-half-lengths when finishing fifth in a 1010m maiden held on a soft 5 track at Moruya on debut.

The form of that contest is working out well with the first two among three horses from that event to deliver victories subsequently.

The selection raced from the front having been allocated a wide barrier when fourth stepped up to this distance at Wagga next time. 

The chestnut delivered a highly creditable effort having possibly done too much in the early stages of that event and he looks value to break through for his first win.

Gordon’s Gin Class 3 Plate Tips (Race 7)


Ipswich Roughie - Race 7 No. 10 South Sea

Stephen Kirkwood’s gelding demonstrated a liking for a wet track when winning on a soft 5 surface at Doomben in April last year.

A good second when beaten half-a-length in a Class 1 set weights contest held on a heavy 9 track over this course and distance followed prior to a mid-division Eagle Farm effort.

Notably both efforts this time around have come on good going including when resuming with a respectable sixth in a 1200m Class 1 handicap at Eagle Farm last month.

The form of that contest looks solid enough with the winner one of three from that event to register wins in the interim. 

The selection took a step forward stepped up to this distance when finishing fourth in a 1350m Benchmark 60 handicap at Doomben subsequently.

The gelding boasts a good barrier and returning to a wet surface may prove up to surprising some better fancied rivals.
